Move Power System For Golf

ABSTRACT

While there are many golf training solutions on the market there are no solutions that address training Exercises for the Hitting Zone and all of the associated neuro-muscular systems. With The Move Power System for Golf a weighted club is used with directional mountings mounted at a 90 degree with resistance from behind forcing the squaring up of the club face. Since all golfers are different multiple bands and resistance are offered. The Y Band Technology is a pulley system that allows for the variable resistance associated with the various exercises. By not using a traditional golf head and using directional mountings, we are no longer considering weather a club face is open but are we on the right golf plane

BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE PRIMARY INVENTION

As the sport of golf continues to evolve the requirement for advancedtraining and conditioning methods need to advance as well. On the markettoday are various devices that address speed, resistance exercises,laser training all addressing specific areas of the golf swing. In manycases the devices were developed by either people in the fitnessindustry that may or may not be familiar with the key components of thegolf swing or by golfers who are not aware of the latest trainingmethods. The Move Power System is unique in that it was created by agolfer who has been is now in the fitness industry. Most golfers haveproblems with a consistent swing as well as getting enough club headspeed with the power behind the swing to score their lowest scores. Thedesign concept behind the product was to address the conditioning of theneuro-muscular systems resulting in enhanced muscle memory throughoutthe Hitting Zone of the ball. The training methodology was developed tobe used for injury rehabilitation, conditioning during the off-seasonand specific conditioning routines during the season itself. The MovePower System For Golf is unique in it's conditioning of all of the coregolf muscles in conjunction with the golf swing focusing on the takeaway of the club from the ball as well as the forward motion of the clubstriking and the related neuro-muscular systems memory.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

If we evaluate the golf swing we consider the take away of the club fromthe ball, golf planes and a consistent impact follow-through of theswing. In the market place there are training aids that are weightedclubs, some use resistance bands but they do not address the consistentimpact of striking the ball striking. What is required to be successfulis a fully integrated training solution that focuses on the keymovements of the golf swing that is designed for golf conditioning andmuscle memory at the impact Zone. The primary design focus is for thebottom 24 to 36 inches of the swing otherwise known as the

“Hitting Zone” and resistance squaring up of the club head at impact.The product was designed to consider golf planes or directional aimingpoints versus the open or closed position of the golf head in theHitting Zone. The present invention is directed to a golf swinging aidfocusing on what is commonly referred to as the “Hitting Zone”conditioning the core golf muscles and related muscle memory throughoutthe Hitting Zone for up to 24 inches either side of striking of theball.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The product is a golf swing training device focusing on muscle memorythrough the use of the Y Band Technology pulley system, resistancebands, a weighted club with a molded grip. The eye-bolt/directionalmountings on the shaft connected to the Y Band pulley system is designedto ensure consistent swing planes during the backswing and forward swingthroughout the Hitting Zone. The exercises focus on the bottom 24 to 36inches of the swing using adjustable resistance bands from 2.6 to 13.2pounds. This allows people of all sizes and strengths to benefit fromthe product Resistance from behind will force a natural squaring up ofthe club face and producing a more powerful swing with increased clubhead speed and greater accuracy.

The Move Power System for Golf has specific exercises that are designedto work with include the following:

-   -   The power move with the resistance from behind, the golfer in a        traditional stance and-the Y Band Technology in the #1 position        FIG. 4    -   The Open Stance Power Move is a specific exercise designed with        the resistance from behind, the golfer in an open stance and the        Y Band Technology in the #1 position FIG. 4    -   The Power Take away with resistance bands positioned in front of        the golfer in a traditional stance and the Y Band Technology in        the #2 position FIG. 5    -   The Power X Factor with the golfer in a traditional stance The Y        Band Technology in the #2 position and the club positioned at        the top of the swing #2 position FIG. 5

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DRAWINGS

The descriptions of the drawings are as follows:

FIG. 1

The drawing shows all of the key components connected with the moldedgrip, weighted shaft with attached eye bolt/directional mountings, YBand technology and attached resistance band. Position #1 and #2discussed in the operation of the Move Power System for Golf is alsoidentified.

FIG. 2

This drawing shows the detail on the weighted shaft, attached eyebolts/directional mountings at a 90 degree connection to the moldedgrip.

FIG. 3

This is the Y Band technology which consists of connectors to thePosition #1 & #2, flexible cable or rope and pulley. The Y Bandtechnology allows for the variable resistance which is key to theoperation of the product

FIG. 4

This drawing showes the golfer in the Power Move and Open Stance PowerMove positions. With the Open Stance Power move the legs are open to a45 degree where the belly button on the person would be facing thetarget. With a right handed golfer this would focus on building theassociated neuro-muscular systems on the right side of the body.

FIG. 5

This drawing shows the Power Take-Away position which focuses on thetake away from the ball movement and addresses the left side of the bodyneuro-muscular systems. This is necessary for muscle balancing of thePower Move exercise.

FIG. 6

This drawing shows the golfer using The Move Power System for Golf tostretch the body allowing for a complete and powerful backswing. This isan isometric exercise.

1. The use of Eye Bolts/Directional Mountings (directional mountings)attached at a 90 degree angle will assist the golfer by the use of golfplanes verses opening or closing of the club head. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2Variable resistance bands attached to the Y band technologies connectedto the directional mountings will force a natural squaring up of thegolf head at the Hitting Zone FIG. 1 Exercises focusing throughout theHitting Zone at the bottom 24 to 36 inches of the swing will create theneuro-muscular memory for a consistent golf swing. The exercises are ofa repetitive motion at the Hitting Zone of the ball. FIG. 4 & FIG. 5 Thecombination of the club and the interchangeable resistance bands willallow a golfer to greatly enhance the power at impact FIG. 1 The Y bandtechnology allows for easy transition of resistance and smooth executionof the exercise. The Y band technology is key to the resistance frombehind to square up the club at impact. FIG. 3 The power x factorexercise will allow a golfer to stretch the golf muscles and allow for afull swing. FIG. 6 The Move Power System for golf is designed to be aconditioning system that will improve the golfer's swing with strength,accuracy and consistency Strength The system uses bands from 2.6 to 13.2pounds resistance. The bands are attached to either weights on thefloor, or to a doorknob or other stationary fixed object. The Y BandTechnology pulley system allows for variable resistance to the weightedclub. With the Power Move exercise all of the core muscles from the armsto the legs are strengthened focusing on the follow through on the swingThe Open Stance Power Move also addressed the core muscles of the swingwith more emphasis on the abdominal muscles and moving the hips throughthe ball. The Power Take Away the core muscles of the take away areconditioned, addressing muscle balancing. The Power X Factor is designedto stretch the golf muscles at the start of the down swing. The primaryexercise is to designed assist with a full swing. Accuracy By using acombination of the eye bolt/directional mounting attachments, resistancefrom behind, the Y Band Technology and the molded grip, direction is nolonger tied to whether a clubface is open or closed. Eye BoltAttachments are set up as position 1 #of FIG. 1 on the far end of theweighted club and allows the golfer to focus in on a golf plane Themolded grip allows for the golfers hands to remain in the correctposition at all times The Y Band Technology allows the golfer to have asmooth transition of the club with the appropriate variable resistancefrom the associated exercises The resistance bands allows for thenatural square up of the club by pulling on the associated exercise.This is accomplished by the resistance bands pulling from behind and therelationship of the eyebolts and grip being mounted at a 90 degree. Thiscan be visualized by the pulling from behind to the vertical plane andthe horizontal plane is the resistance bands

Consistency All of the exercises are designed to develop not onlystrength but muscle memory at the key parts of the Hitting Zone. Theexercises build up the muscle memory through the specific conditioningdrills that greatly increase the consistency of the swing. The PowerMove and Open Stance Power Move address the consistency of the followthrough of the swing position. FIG. 4 The Power Take Away builds theconsistency of the first movement of the club away from the ball whichpositions a consistent follow-through. FIG. #5
